Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
三星半，完成度很好，但是能拿这么多凯撒大奖估计也是确实很合那些白人老头评委的胃口吧，毕竟片中的法国文化应该是他们从小长大中耳濡目染的吧？不过我倒还蛮喜欢的，看历史片也很有意思。看完出来，我和发财都惊讶道：多兰竟然一点魁北克口音都没有？
失去了少年的纯真和对创造美的向往，他终于不再期待，开始生活。
是为被纸醉金迷的社交所裹挟的人拍的，为让文学成为一块卑微的踏板的吕西安们拍的；也是为菲茨杰拉德这种人拍的，本可以“回归写作，回归他自己”，身体却被泽尔达所占有、被疯狂、失控的派对摧毁，他的灵魂并不属于文学。藏在故事背后的内森拥有真正的文学之眼，冷静地审视喧嚣与沉沦，“我想到了所有那些在觉醒之后，必须找到内在力量的人”：文学家不是记者，记者是语言的零售商、词语贩子、艺术家和公众之间的经纪人；文学家不是供职报社、出版社的掮客，“在巴黎，要生存下去，要懂得和纺织大亨们分享自己的女人”，不是那些见风使舵、是非不分的生意人；文学家不该是保皇党和自由党眼中的一张选票，不该向贵族的封号低头、也不该辱没爱情的庄重。吕西安曾形容卡洛琳，“她穿一双猩红色的长袜，有一张初恋的面容”，仅在那一刻他与文学擦身而过。
感想是，不要和依然秉持当年的三观的人们混在一起...
老狗的故事真是迷人，故事老套但还是挺好看的。
本来《幻灭》原作的主题是：我们在奋斗的过程中，怎么面对利益与道德产生的矛盾🤔。电影版就把矛盾问题解决了。对的，他们直接……不提道德了🤔，反而补上了几场露骨的场面😌。我被辣眼睛了😌。心疼巴尔扎克😭……更心疼我用15欧买来的票😭。
一直以为男主会一步步逆袭，结果被大算计了！
而且各位演员的表演也有点不平均，Lucien的演员表现还是比其他人稚嫩了不少。明明是可以拍成Barry Lydon那种史诗气质的片，可惜了。
极具天赋的文艺青年的幻灭之路。在他摸清了巴黎新闻界的些许皮毛之后，一度曾十分自负的认为自己拥有了全世界，而在那短暂的虚荣巅峰之后，他为自己的狂妄付出了代价。巴黎从未向谁真正敞开尊贵的大门，盛宴之下，满目疮痍，人人都是小丑，人人皆为蝼蚁。这是200年前的巴黎，也是现在。
多少个这样的心灵，
一星给旁白，帮助了解剧情。男主性格不好情商不行，结局在意料之中。
FR144 à UGC Les halles. 改编有点大。电影呈现感觉有些后劲不足。
不知道是演员扮相、行为举止不够古典，还是拍摄手法有问题，总有种现代人在演古装戏的违和感。而且故事拍得不甚有吸引力，影片时长又有两个半小时，让人情不自禁开始走神。
被无情摧毁于无声；
-一本书很感人？那就说它故作感伤；
人间喜剧，根据原著改编的很好，追名逐利的最后失去了很多，原来一切都是幻灭。
“优秀骄傲的骑士，毫不畏惧也毫无原则，以不诚实、假新闻和广告的名义，我为你受洗，成为记者。”
往往，得到一切的代价，远远大于失去一切的代价。
曾几何时，
十九世纪的法国巴黎，那些迷失在浮华里的年轻人，都突破了巴尔扎克的文字，通过这部电影向我走来。再有理想和才华，没有靠山，都只是挣扎的过河卒子。小说巴尔扎克写了八年，电影虽然也长达两个半小时，但已经把那个时代法国浮世绘的感觉拍出来了。
